I awoke the next day, drained of energy. I carefully sat up in bed, observing my surroundings.

The room was simple, a bed, a wardrobe, a chest, a lamp stand in the corner. Pictures on the wall were that of other beings, werewolves, vampires, witches, demons. I noticed clothes on the end of my bed, and wondering if I should wear them or not, still deciding, I got up and went in search of someone I knew. The corridor went on for ages, it seemed never ending. Each time I came to a door, I found it was locked, so I moved on. Finally I came to a staircase, after a lot of thought, I went down it, hoping that I would find someone down there.

I travelled down a few floors, not knowing where I was now, and walked down another corridor. This time, when I came to a door, it was open. I walked in, and in front of me stood hundreds of prison cells.

I wondered along, noticing all the cells so far where empty. I walked for about five minutes, and finally came across a prisoner,

'hello princess!' Vernas spat out. Unable to move or speak, I just stood there, 'what? Got nothing to say to me today, after witnessing what I was put though yesterday, I didn't get these burns cooking, your lovely boyfriend did this, because of you!'

'no!' I yelled,

'yes, it was all your fault, but if you let me go, I promise I wont hurt you or him, I shall return to where I came,' I cut him off,

'stop it! Stop getting inside my head,' I screamed,

'if your as strong as they say, you could block me, but of course your just an immature little girl trying to save the world,'

'I can block you, I'm not immature,' I told him, my hands shaking with fear,

'prove it!' I stood there, now he had me, how was I meant to show him something I knew I didn't know how to do.

'well princess?' he pushed himself against the railings,

'why were you told to kill me?' I asked, diverting the conversation,

'you know why, your strong, so they think, just imagine their faces when I tell them your false, that will be fun, that will make my very happy.' he started chuckling to himself.

'how long have to you been following me?' I asked, shaking less by my confidence,

'a few months, waste of time though, could have been hunting real witches,'

'who sent you?'

'I cant tell you that, I didn't even tell your boyfriend that,'

'he's not my boyfriend, why cant you tell me?'

'he acts like he is,'

'stop changing the conversation!' I yelled,

'you seem to be getting stressed, why are you down here? No one ever comes down here, not unless they come with orders to kill me, no one ever talks to me unless I have that poison in me, tasted like crap that did,' he started muttering to himself under his breath. I thought quickly for a reason that I was down here, I refused to tell him I got lost, although there was no real point, as I was doing this, a piercing alarm went off. Panicking, I ran the opposite way I came, running faster than I thought I could. I found a locked door at the end, wishing it were open. I stood there, hearing voices from down the hall. I turned to face the lock again, gathering the green lights from around me. They flowed into the lock, compressing to form a key shape, I reached out, touching the light, which had turned solid. I quickly turned it, and ran through the door. I came to a courtyard, with walls twenty foot high. I stood in the middle of the square, thinking of a way out, or a reason for me to be down here. I heard the voices coming closer and closer. I started making my own voices, flowing with the green lights. I felt a sharp pain in my back, by my shoulder blades. I collapsed on the floor, wrapping myself in orange lights, unaware of what was happening to me. The pain seem to vanish, and as I stood up, I noticed something was different, I felt a draft behind me, as I spun, the draft moved, it was always behind me. I turned my head, hoping that it wouldn't move again.

Then I saw them, my wings. They were a beautiful silver colour, with gold tints. It took me a short while to learn how to use them, once I had, I flapped hard, feeling my feet leave the ground. Soon I could see over the wall, then I was on the wall, looking around. I heard the footsteps run close to the door, then I dived, off the wall, into the valley that stood behind the house. I looked back, seeing what was a castle on the inside, only a small two bed roomed house with falling apart walls.

I glided over the tops of trees, no longer looking back. I heard nothing, except the wind flowing over me. I saw the road by the river, where I had almost crashed with Mikey yesterday. I flew down, landing just about on the bank. I walked through the woods, stopping just behind a tree, waiting for a gang of guys to pass, I didn't want to explain the silver wings on my back to Mikey let alone anyone else.

As I waited, I thought about explaining this to him, he would be looking for me now, I needed to tell him where I was, but I hated the idea of him being disappointed that I ran off. The thoughts spun around my head for the next half hour, then I heard it.

'Rachel!' it was Mikey's voice, I jumped up and looked around, he was walking straight towards me, with one of those looks that I just knew was not a good thing,

'Can I ask what the hell happened?' he yelled, still a few metres away from me,

'I, erm, I, have no idea,' I managed to stutter out,

'you better get some idea, Felix is going mad back at the house, I havent seen him like this since, well, it doesn't matter, look he's mad enough you went exploring without asking, never mind that you spoke to the prisoner, after what you went though, I thought you would have more sense.'

'Hey, I didn't have a clue what happened to me, I was shit scared, got it! I went looking for you, the only room I could get in was the prison cell, ok maybe I shouldn't have spoken to him, but I wanted to know why he was going to kill me,' I threw the last words out, Mikey's face changed, he no longer seemed mad or angry, he had calmed down,

'I know its a lot to take in,'

'No, no you don't, you have no idea whats going though my head, I have power, and it scares me, its too much, all of this, I want out, I don't want this any more,'

'we cant just take power off you, its not even heard of, besides, don't you want them wings off you first,' he said, holding back a smile. I looked down, upset and angry, I never wanted to fight with Mikey, it was just too scary, everything that was happening. 'I told Chris that you were staying the night at mine, just so you know.' he told me, sounding calmer than he looked, 'I thought that might sound better than the truth,' he walked over to me,

'I don't want this any more, the things that have happened over the last 24 hours, they scare me,' I said as he brought me close to him,

'I cant promise things will get better, I don't know that, all I do know is that I will protect you as much as I can,' I looked up at him, his face had changed, he now looked calm, his eyes explored mine, his lips slightly raised at the corners. We stood there for a short while, then, after I removed my wings, he took me home, where I went straight to sleep,'
